I see: 3.8 'make install' fails on Mandrake kernels Mandrake uses a non-standard version.h file which confuses our Makefile. Edit our Makefile on the 'MODDIR :=' line to hard-code the module directory. Now my question, what do I change the line after MODDIR := to? I don't know where my module directory is.
